Riassunto

Anthropologists King (Drake U.) and Springwood (Illinois Wesleyan U) argue that collegiate revenue-producing sports are created as a spectacle in which the races have pre-determined roles. They explain that while Native American are seen largely as empty or distorted images and African Americans are seen as both shining starts and troubled delinquents, white Americans serve as spectators, coaches, administrators, journalists, and athletes, remaining unmarked as racial subjects.
